Anyways, I am developing a game and I am looking for ranks and insignia used in 1879 (or even close to it).

Any help will be appreciated! ...greetings!

Matt, the site is usually very quiet, I was actually surprised to see a new topic. As for your question, I had hoped one of my books could help you, but alas. That said, I do seem to recall that there is a chart that shows such ranks and insignia if you type in to images on the net, if unlucky with replies here or elsewhere, that may assist. Sorry for lack of more info, hope someone replies soon with details

Matt, the books I referred to were my Zulu War titles of the Osprey Men-At-Arms, Elite and Campaign series that have colour plates and descriptions of the British forces and Zulu regiments

Matt,

Any problems with insignia of the period, please feel free to contact me.

I assist Mike Snook on a piece insignia which I think is on Empress Miniatures’ site. I can tell you most of the idiocies involved.
